title: Tri-aqua-(pyrazole-4-carboxyl-ato-κN (1))lithium.
abstract: In the monomeric title complex, [Li(C4H3N2O2)(H2O)3], the Li(+) cation is coordinated by a pyrazole N atom and three water mol-ecules in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The carboxyl-ate group is deprotonated. The complex mol-ecules are involved in O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, forming layers stacked along the b axis.
